Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 395 Farewell
The next day, Gu Xu packed up his luggage, put on a mask, and saw Zhao Yan leading the horse "Big Red" to the gate of the palace as promised.

She was wearing a dark red hunting suit today, her black hair was scattered like a waterfall, shining like silk in the sun.

"Can you ride a horse?"

"Not very good at it." Gu Xu answered truthfully.

"That's just right," Zhao Yan smiled, "We ride a horse, you sit behind me, and I'll drive you to the pier."

Gu Xu knew that this was another trap set by her.

After all, both of them are practitioners. If they are just on their way, it would be much more inconvenient to use the astrolabe to teleport directly there?
But he still said "hmm" and nodded.

Zhao Yan stepped onto the horse first, and then stretched out her hand to pull Gu Xu up.

"Hold me tight," she said, "I'm going to speed up."

As soon as the words fell, she pulled the rein.

"Big Red" seemed to know her thoughts, and instantly galloped away along the wide street like an arrow leaving the string.

Gu Xu was almost thrown off his horse by the sudden acceleration.

He hurriedly hugged her slender and soft waist, and managed to stabilize his body.

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face grew stronger, as if she enjoyed the feeling of being close to him.

The steed turned into a flash of red lightning, passed through the ancient gate of Jicheng, crossed the vast fields, undulating hills, and galloped recklessly on the land of Youzhou.

When encountering a river, he kicked his hooves and leaped over.

When encountering mountains and forests, the speed does not slow down, and it can shuttle flexibly among the trees.

When Gu Xu closed his eyes, he couldn't help suspecting that he had returned to the amusement park in his previous life, riding a roller coaster up and down.

…………

Later that day, the two arrived at Jingu, the nearest port to Jicheng.

Zhao Yan had already contacted a merchant ship that was about to go to the islands in the East China Sea to pick herbs.

This ship has a tacky name, called "Ping An Fugui".

She asked her staff to greet the owner of the ship, saying that "a friend wants to take a ride to the East China Sea on a sailboat."

The owner of the "Ping An Fugui" would naturally not refuse Lord Dayan's request.

On the pier, Zhao Yan didn't speak, but hugged Gu Xu for the last time.The sea breeze messed up her black hair and disturbed their moods.

Then, greeted by the crew, Gu Xu boarded the merchant ship.

When the merchant ship raised its sails and activated the formation, he stood on the deck, looked at Zhao Yan who was standing by the sea, and waved to her.

At this moment, the sky is blue and the sea is blue.

Zhao Yan, who is dressed like fire in red, is the most dazzling scenery in the world.

Seeing her slightly parting her red lips, Gu Xu said three words to him.

If you just look at her mouth shape, she seems to be saying "take me away".

But when her voice floated to his ears with the sea breeze under the influence of the spell, what he heard was "Take care".

Gu Xu had mixed feelings in his heart.

He remembered that she had promised to accompany him to the ends of the world again.

But now she has become the king of Dayan.

After he put the golden crown on her with his own hands, she was destined to stay in this land and fulfill the duties of king.

When the two looked at each other from a distance, the "Ping An Fu Gui" quickly left the port of Jingu.

Zhao Yan's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of his sight together with the whole land.

Only pure blue remained between the sky and the earth.

…………

Zhao Yan watched the merchant ship disappear at the junction of sea and sky.

She didn't leave immediately, but still stood on the shore, listening to the waves crashing against the rocks time and time again, making a crashing sound.

Unknowingly, the picture she saw in the recent dream reappeared in her mind.

The protagonist of the dream is still her, and the mysterious man with a vague face whom she called "Master".

She dreamed again and again that she was sending "Master" away.

Every time she heard herself asking the other party in a crying voice: "Then will you come back in the future?"

"Master" always sighed softly: "I don't know either."

At this moment, Zhao Yan only felt that the scene where she sent Gu Xu away was inexplicably similar to this dream.

The bastard also told her that he didn't know if he could come back in the future.

There may be a very small chance that it will come back.

But there is a high probability that that bastard will find his former fiancée after the matter is completed, and live with her and have a good time.

On the other hand, he will stay forever in the barren land of the northern border as a lonely king.

A farewell today may be a farewell forever.

Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly became moist.

She reached out and rubbed her eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn sand."

…………

After leaving the coast, Gu Xu no longer stayed on the deck, but was guided by the crew to a cabin reserved for him.

"My friend likes to be quiet," Zhao Yan once sent someone to tell the ship owner, "If possible, I hope you can arrange a place for him to meditate and practice without being disturbed."

This cabin is indeed quiet, with soundproofing runes carved into the walls.Coupled with the anti-vibration and anti-vibration formations arranged on the hull, Gu Xu's stay here feels almost the same as staying in a house on flat ground.

He sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat.

Then he took a deep breath and prepared to continue thinking about ways to break through.

However, when he closed his eyes, what came to his mind was the intoxicating blush on Zhao Yan's face when she kissed him last night.

His heart was indeed in a mess.

He had to admit that he was easily moved.

When he first came to this world, he thought about how to cultivate to the realm of a saint before the age of 30 every day. He once firmly believed that "women will only affect the speed of my cultivation".

However, on that rainy morning, when Xiao Han appeared in front of him holding a well-prepared breakfast food box, his calm and calm state of mind seemed to suddenly fall into a small stone, causing ripples.

Similarly, the image of Zhao Yan holding a spear and hunting in red, appearing in Jingxing like a god, rescuing him from the encirclement of Daqi officials, is also deeply imprinted in his mind.

But Gu Xu, to put it mildly, is called "stable", and to put it bluntly, he is called "always think too much".

Just like in the previous life, when young people talked about marriage, they would always consider questions such as "can I afford a house", "Can I afford a baby", "How to manage accounts after marriage".

Gu Xu always thinks "how long can I live", "can I take this responsibility well", "can I let her live a happy life", "what should she do if I die"... …

When he was engaged to Shi Xiaohan earlier, he had already established a firm foothold in Luojing, his official career was flourishing, and his wealth was rolling in. In addition, Luo Sishou gave the prophecy of "above saints", and he was confident that he would protect her and make her worry-free Live the rest of your life without worry.

But the world is impermanent.

In a day, Tianjiao became a fugitive, and the stable and peaceful life came to naught.

When others were discussing the matter of "retiring the engagement", Gu Xu felt more guilty, feeling that he had failed to fulfill his original promise.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the cabin: "I like it in my heart, but I have to find all kinds of excuses. I really can't think that the successor chosen by the emperor is such a twisted person."

This voice was exactly the same as Gu Xu's own voice.

Gu Xu frowned: "Who is talking?"

He looked around with his spiritual sense, but found that the cabin was empty, and there was no one else except himself.

"It's me," the voice continued, "you can see me when you lower your head."

Gu Xu lowered his head and saw himself on the "star disk" on his knees, and at some point a translucent villain the size of a thumb appeared.

The little man looked exactly like him.

His features are clear, his eyes are bright, and he is extraordinary.

The only difference is that the villain's hair is silver and white, hanging over his shoulders, like the snow on the top of a winter mountain, shining with the brilliance of stars.

"You are—" Gu Xu thought of the white-haired boy he met in the conscious world.

Could it be that the white-haired boy used some unknown method to come to the real world?

"——I am the tool spirit of 'Astrolabe'."

The villain stood on the "star disk" with his hips akimbo, interrupting his words.
